Happy Halloween!!!

Trick or Treating had to be postponed at my house this year. On Monday I got a call from the health office at school. Bryan had thrown up and I had to go and get him. I could see the sadness in his little eyes when he asked if this meant he could not trick or treat. Well what in the world is a mother to do?!?!?!?! I was not sure if he had caught a "stomach flu" or if a migraine from his jaw expander had caused the "incident". So of course ,I did the most reasonable thing I could think of........ postpone Halloween. Bryan ate soda crackers and rested all afternoon and by evening seemed "fine". However, still not wanting to push the limit we took our baths early, cuddled up on mommy's bed and read a Halloween story. Then off to bed we went.

Saturday night with the help of some wonderful friends and my "favorite" uncle we had Halloween. We put on our costumes, loaded into the van and off we went. I think the kids scored better on a Non-Halloween day than they would have on the real deal. They had a blast and I think that when they are all grown up and remembering Halloween's past they will remember it the way I do...... a really fun day getting dressed up and making memories with family....... but not really remembering the year they almost didn't get to"trick or treat"!!!
